[July 21, 2014]
(Reuters) - CBS Outdoor Americas Inc said it would buy
some outdoor advertising businesses from privately held
U.S. billboard company Van Wagner Communications LLC for
$690 million in cash.

The deal includes about 1,100 large-format
billboard displays in 11 U.S. markets with total revenue of $206
million in 2013, CBS Outdoor said on Monday.

Reuters reported exclusively last week that Van Wagner was
exploring a sale that could fetch more than $600 million.

CBS Outdoor, whose customers include Apple Inc, McDonald's Corp
and Sony Corp, went public in late March.

The company has about 329,100 displays in the United States and
about 26,100 displays across Canada and Latin America.
